Quick Start
1. Bolt the desktop cradle to a flat surface. It can be mounted using a DIN rail or a wall
mounting bracket.
2. Push the barrel connector into the power jack at the back of the Cradle.
3. If required, connect a 9-pin RS-232 cable to the serial port or a USB cable to the USB port at
the back of the Cradle.
4. Plug the three prong connector end of the AC power supply into an AC wall outlet.
5. The desktop cradle is ready for use.
When the desktop cradle is receiving external power, and the MX6 is properly seated in the
charging bay, the DOCK LED is green.
If the powered cradle is connected to a host computer using either the RS-232 or USB cable, and
ActiveSync 3.7 is installed on the host computer, synchronization begins immediately.
The cradle should be located in an area where it:
• Is not in high traffic areas.
• Has enough clearance to allow easy access to the power and ports on the back of the
device.
• Is protected from rain, dust or inclement weather. This device is intended for indoor use
only.
